The National Monuments Service's description
Situated c. 50m E of a stream on the W slopes of a hill in a rocky area. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and RMP (1996). On inspection in 1999 this was found to be a roughly circular enclosure (int. diam. 16m) defined by a drystone wall of relatively modern construction with an entrance (Wth 1.4m) at S with stone facing at each side. The interior is full of loose stone and is much overgrown.
